he was in something recently too, the Butler I believe, though I might be wrong. Looked very different apart from a hint of that winkling smile.

And Flubber deserves a mention too, one of my favourites when I was a porky little lad for some strange reason..

Everyone says what a great comedian he was but I thought he was best in dramatic roles - Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam, Good Will Hunting. Incidentally Good Morning Vietnam is being shown Sunday night at 12.05 - 2.10am - who can watch at this time!

I heard the news last night when it broke and nearly 24 hours later I am still plain devastated.
I loved the man. He entertained me from the time I was 4 literally up until 3 weeks ago when I watched the final episode of The Crazy Ones.
There are no words I can use to convey just how distraught I am. He was a God to me.

This is the order in which I was exposed to his brilliance.
He was equally versatile in both comedy and drama - a genius in every sense of the word with so many good roles still left in him.

Hopefully happiness has found him now.

RIP Robin.

One that may have skipped under your radar, August Rush.
I myself only discovered it a few months back as its my BF's favourite film.
Shadowhunters: Looking better in black than the widows of our enemies since 1234.
I am, after all, what you made me.

I actually haven't seen that one so thank you for the recommendation.
Seems there is yet some unchartered brilliance to cover.

So sad to hear that the legendary actress Lauren Bacall as died after suffering a massive stroke. A true star.

I can definitely recommend August Rush. It was on Film 4 last Saturday and has been shown around 4 times this year on Film 4, so keep a look out for it.
